Swallows on the Shropshire Canal

On a long walk by the Shropshire union canal last week at Middlewich we ended up having a break on a wooden cattle bridge and there were lots of Swallows feeding on insects and drinking from the canal. Three newly fledged Swallows landed on a Iron guard that stops people climbing on a pipe which goes over the canal and is level with the bridge we were resting on. The bridge provided a great location to get some close up photographs of them with a green background of the nearby fields. A Canal boat passed underneath them which startled them and they flew off and landed on nearby power lines.

My Bio

Hi my names Mike and I love to film and photograph wildlife of the UK.
I love to observe, photograph and film wildlife in my local area Cheshire and my second home of Llandudno on the North Wales coast. I started this blog so I could share my wildlife encounters and story's with other nature lovers around the world. I also love kayaking on the rivers, lakes, canals and the sea. I love most things about the coast and the outdoors.
